The SHERPA/RoMEO Application Programmers' Interface (API) is a machine-to-machine interface that lets programmers access SHERPA/RoMEO data from their applications. For instance, you could use the API to incorporate an automatic look-up of a journal or publisher into your repository's deposition process.

The Scopus Application Program Interface (API) enables you to search
the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and
quality web sources.
You can select Scopus data elements and create your own mashups.
The API returns Scopus data in a format that is easily integrated into
an application or your web site.

AcaWiki is like "Wikipedia for academic research" designed to increase the impact of scholars, students, and bloggers by enabling them to share summaries and discuss academic papers online. AcaWiki turns research hidden in academic journals into something more dynamic and accessible.

I made a web-based interface for curating the results of entity extraction from scientific papers.
It converts XML files to text, passes the text through machine annotators, lets curators add/delete/modify the annotations, then splices the annotations back into the original XML file.

BibSonomy is a system for sharing bookmarks and lists of literature. When discovering a bookmark or a publication on the web, you can store it on our server. You can add tags to your post to retrieve it more easily. This is very similar to the bookmarks/favorites that you store within your browser. The advantage of BibSonomy is that you can access your data from whereever you are. Furthermore, you can discover more bookmarks and publications from your friends and other people.

One of the key features is that it's clever enough to automatically extract the citation details (title, author, journal name, page number, etc) from an article on the web without you having to copy and paste them in yourself. To do this, it uses an extensible architecture of "plugins" which are responsible for taking a URL, fetching whatever details might be required, and then returning them in a consistent format which can be used by the system.

WizFolio is a web based productivity tool for managing all types of information.
